Mingyu Feng, Andrew E. Krumm, Alex J. Bowers, T. Podkul
Technologies used by teachers and students generate vast amounts of data that can be analyzed to provide insights into improving teaching and learning. However, practitioners are left out of the process. We describe the development of an approach by which researchers and practitioners can work together to use data intensive research methods to launch improvement efforts within schools. This paper describes elements of the first year of a researcher-practitioner partnership, highlighting initial findings, challenges, and strategies for overcoming these challenges.
教师和学生使用的技术产生了大量的数据,可以对这些数据进行分析,以提供改进教与学的见解。然而,从业者被排除在这个过程之外。我们描述了一种方法的发展,通过这种方法,研究人员和从业人员可以共同使用数据密集型研究方法,在学校内开展改进工作。本文描述了研究人员-从业者伙伴关系第一年的要素,突出了初步发现、挑战和克服这些挑战的策略。

Data literacy for learning analytics 学习分析的数据素养
A. Wolff, John Moore, Z. Zdráhal, Martin Hlosta, Jakub Kuzilek
This workshop explores how data literacy impacts on learning analytics both for practitioners and for end users. The term data literacy is used to broadly describe the set of abilities around the use of data as part of everyday thinking and reasoning for solving real-world problems. It is a skill required both by learning analytics practitioners to derive actionable insights from data and by the intended end users, such that it affects their ability to accurately interpret and critique presented analysis of data. The latter is particularly important, since learning analytics outcomes can be targeted at a wide range of end users, some of whom will be young students and many of whom are not data specialists. Whilst data literacy is rarely an end goal of learning analytics projects, this workshop aims to find where issues related to data literacy have impacted on project outcomes and where important insights have been gained. This workshop will further encourage the sharing of knowledge and experience through practical activities with datasets and visualisations. This workshop aims to highlight the need for a greater understanding of data literacy as a field of study, especially with regard to communicating around large, complex, data sets.
本次研讨会探讨了数据素养对从业者和最终用户学习分析的影响。“数据素养”一词被广泛地用于描述将数据作为日常思考和推理的一部分来解决现实世界问题的一系列能力。这是学习分析从业者从数据中获得可操作见解的技能,也是预期的最终用户所需要的技能,因为它会影响他们准确解释和批评呈现的数据分析的能力。后者尤其重要,因为学习分析的结果可以针对广泛的最终用户,其中一些是年轻的学生,其中许多人不是数据专家。虽然数据素养很少是学习分析项目的最终目标,但本次研讨会旨在找出与数据素养相关的问题对项目成果的影响,以及从中获得的重要见解。本次研讨会将通过数据集和可视化的实践活动进一步鼓励知识和经验的分享。本次研讨会旨在强调需要更好地理解数据素养作为一个研究领域,特别是在围绕大型、复杂的数据集进行交流方面。

Longitudinal engagement, performance, and social connectivity: a MOOC case study using exponential random graph models 纵向参与、绩效和社会联系:使用指数随机图模型的MOOC案例研究
Mengxiao Zhu, Yoav Bergner, Yan Zhang, R. Baker, Y. Wang, L. Paquette
This paper explores a longitudinal approach to combining engagement, performance and social connectivity data from a MOOC using the framework of exponential random graph models (ERGMs). The idea is to model the social network in the discussion forum in a given week not only using performance (assignment scores) and overall engagement (lecture and discussion views) covariates within that week, but also on the same person-level covariates from adjacent previous and subsequent weeks. We find that over all eight weekly sessions, the social networks constructed from the forum interactions are relatively sparse and lack the tendency for preferential attachment. By analyzing data from the second week, we also find that individuals with higher performance scores from current, previous, and future weeks tend to be more connected in the social network. Engagement with lectures had significant but sometimes puzzling effects on social connectivity. However, the relationships between social connectivity, performance, and engagement weakened over time, and results were not stable across weeks.
本文探索了一种纵向方法,利用指数随机图模型(ergm)的框架,将MOOC的参与度、表现和社会连接数据结合起来。这个想法是在给定的一周内,不仅使用一周内的表现(作业分数)和总体参与度(讲座和讨论视图)协变量,而且还使用相邻的前一周和后几周的同一个人水平的协变量来模拟讨论论坛中的社会网络。我们发现,在所有8周的会议中,由论坛互动构建的社会网络相对稀疏,缺乏优先依恋的倾向。通过分析第二周的数据,我们还发现,在当前、之前和未来几周中,得分较高的个体在社交网络中的联系往往更紧密。参与讲座对社会联系有显著但有时令人困惑的影响。然而,社交连通性、表现和参与度之间的关系随着时间的推移而减弱,结果在几周内并不稳定。

What can analytics contribute to accessibility in e-learning systems and to disabled students' learning? 分析可以为电子学习系统的可访问性和残疾学生的学习做出哪些贡献?
M. Cooper, Rebecca Ferguson, A. Wolff
This paper explores the potential of analytics for improving accessibility of e-learning and supporting disabled learners in their studies. A comparative analysis of completion rates of disabled and non-disabled students in a large five-year dataset is presented and a wide variation in comparative retention rates is characterized. Learning analytics enable us to identify and understand such discrepancies and, in future, could be used to focus interventions to improve retention of disabled students. An agenda for onward research, focused on Critical Learning Paths, is outlined. This paper is intended to stimulate a wider interest in the potential benefits of learning analytics for institutions as they try to assure the accessibility of their e-learning and provision of support for disabled students.
本文探讨了分析在提高电子学习的可访问性和支持残疾学习者学习方面的潜力。在一个大型的五年数据集中,对残疾学生和非残疾学生的完成率进行了比较分析,并对比较留校率的差异进行了分析。学习分析使我们能够识别和理解这些差异,并在未来可以用来集中干预措施,以提高残疾学生的保留率。本文概述了未来研究的议程,重点是关键学习路径。本文旨在激发对学习分析的潜在好处的更广泛的兴趣,因为他们试图确保他们的电子学习的可访问性,并为残疾学生提供支持。

Affecting off-task behaviour: how affect-aware feedback can improve student learning 影响非任务行为:情感感知反馈如何改善学生的学习
B. Grawemeyer, M. Mavrikis, Wayne Holmes, S. Santos, Michael Wiedmann, N. Rummel
This paper describes the development and evaluation of an affect-aware intelligent support component that is part of a learning environment known as iTalk2Learn. The intelligent support component is able to tailor feedback according to a student's affective state, which is deduced both from speech and interaction. The affect prediction is used to determine which type of feedback is provided and how that feedback is presented (interruptive or non-interruptive). The system includes two Bayesian networks that were trained with data gathered in a series of ecologically-valid Wizard-of-Oz studies, where the effect of the type of feedback and the presentation of feedback on students' affective states was investigated. This paper reports results from an experiment that compared a version that provided affect-aware feedback (affect condition) with one that provided feedback based on performance only (non-affect condition). Results show that students who were in the affect condition were less bored and less off-task, with the latter being statically significant. Importantly, students in both conditions made learning gains that were statistically significant, while students in the affect condition had higher learning gains than those in the non-affect condition, although this result was not statistically significant in this study's sample. Taken all together, the results point to the potential and positive impact of affect-aware intelligent support.
本文描述了一个情感感知智能支持组件的开发和评估,该组件是学习环境iTalk2Learn的一部分。智能支持组件能够根据学生的情感状态定制反馈,这是从语音和互动中推断出来的。影响预测用于确定提供哪种类型的反馈以及如何呈现反馈(中断的还是非中断的)。该系统包括两个贝叶斯网络,它们是用一系列生态有效的《绿野仙踪》研究中收集的数据进行训练的,其中调查了反馈类型和反馈呈现对学生情感状态的影响。本文报告了一项实验的结果,该实验将提供情感感知反馈(情感条件)的版本与仅提供基于表现的反馈(非情感条件)的版本进行了比较。结果表明,处于情绪状态的学生更少感到无聊,更少离开任务,后者具有显著的统计学意义。重要的是,两种情况下的学生都获得了统计学意义上的学习收益,而情感条件下的学生比非情感条件下的学生获得了更高的学习收益,尽管这一结果在本研究的样本中没有统计学意义。综上所述,研究结果指出了情感感知智能支持的潜在和积极影响。

Impact of data collection on interpretation and evaluation of student models 数据收集对学生模型解释和评价的影响
Radek Pelánek, Jirí Rihák, Jan Papousek
Student modeling techniques are evaluated mostly using historical data. Researchers typically do not pay attention to details of the origin of the used data sets. However, the way data are collected can have important impact on evaluation and interpretation of student models. We discuss in detail two ways how data collection in educational systems can influence results: mastery attrition bias and adaptive choice of items. We systematically discuss previous work related to these biases and illustrate the main points using both simulated and real data. We summarize specific consequences for practice -- not just for doing evaluation of student models, but also for data collection and publication of data sets.
学生建模技术主要使用历史数据进行评估。研究人员通常不会注意所使用数据集的来源细节。然而,收集数据的方式可能对学生模型的评估和解释产生重要影响。我们详细讨论了教育系统中数据收集如何影响结果的两种方式:掌握损耗偏差和项目的适应性选择。我们系统地讨论了与这些偏差相关的先前工作,并使用模拟和真实数据说明了要点。我们总结了实践的具体结果——不仅是对学生模型的评估,而且是对数据收集和数据集的发布。

Combining click-stream data with NLP tools to better understand MOOC completion 将点击流数据与NLP工具相结合,更好地理解MOOC的完成情况
S. Crossley, L. Paquette, M. Dascalu, D. McNamara, R. Baker
Completion rates for massive open online classes (MOOCs) are notoriously low. Identifying student patterns related to course completion may help to develop interventions that can improve retention and learning outcomes in MOOCs. Previous research predicting MOOC completion has focused on click-stream data, student demographics, and natural language processing (NLP) analyses. However, most of these analyses have not taken full advantage of the multiple types of data available. This study combines click-stream data and NLP approaches to examine if students' on-line activity and the language they produce in the online discussion forum is predictive of successful class completion. We study this analysis in the context of a subsample of 320 students who completed at least one graded assignment and produced at least 50 words in discussion forums, in a MOOC on educational data mining. The findings indicate that a mix of click-stream data and NLP indices can predict with substantial accuracy (78%) whether students complete the MOOC. This predictive power suggests that student interaction data and language data within a MOOC can help us both to understand student retention in MOOCs and to develop automated signals of student success.
大规模在线开放课程(mooc)的完成率是出了名的低。确定与课程完成相关的学生模式可能有助于制定干预措施,提高mooc的保留率和学习成果。之前预测MOOC完成情况的研究主要集中在点击流数据、学生人口统计数据和自然语言处理(NLP)分析上。然而,这些分析大多没有充分利用现有的多种类型的数据。这项研究结合点击流数据和NLP方法来检验学生的在线活动和他们在在线论坛上发表的语言是否预示着课程的成功完成。我们在一个关于教育数据挖掘的MOOC的讨论论坛中,对320名学生的子样本进行了研究,这些学生至少完成了一项评分作业,并在论坛上发表了至少50个单词。研究结果表明,点击流数据和NLP指数的组合可以以相当高的准确率(78%)预测学生是否完成了MOOC。这种预测能力表明,MOOC中的学生互动数据和语言数据可以帮助我们了解MOOC中的学生留存率,并开发学生成功的自动信号。

Measuring financial implications of an early alert system 衡量预警系统的财务影响
Scott Harrison, R. Villano, G. Lynch, George S. Chen
The prevalence of early alert systems (EAS) at tertiary institutions is increasing. These systems are designed to assist with targeted student support in order to improve student retention. They also require considerable human and capital resources to implement, with significant costs involved. It is therefore an imperative that the systems can demonstrate quantifiable financial benefits to the institution. The purpose of this paper is to report on the financial implications of implementing an EAS at an Australian university as a case study. The case study institution implemented an EAS in 2011 using data generated from a data warehouse. The data set is comprised of 16,124 students enrolled between 2011 and 2013. Using a treatment effects approach, the study found that the cost of a student discontinuing was on average $4,687. Students identified by the EAS remained enrolled for longer, with the institution benefiting with approximately an additional $4,004 in revenue per student over the length of enrolment. All schools had a significant positive effect associated with the EAS and the EAS showed significant value to the institution regardless of the timing when the student was identified. The results indicate that EAS had significant financial benefits to this institution and that the benefits extended to the entire institution beyond the first year of enrolment.
早期预警系统(EAS)在高等教育机构的普及程度正在增加。这些系统旨在帮助有针对性的学生支持,以提高学生的保留率。它们还需要大量的人力和资本资源来执行,涉及大量费用。因此,这些系统必须能够向机构展示可量化的财务效益。本文的目的是报告在澳大利亚大学实施EAS的财务影响作为一个案例研究。案例研究机构在2011年使用从数据仓库生成的数据实现了EAS。该数据集由2011年至2013年间入学的16,124名学生组成。使用治疗效果方法,该研究发现,一个学生停药的成本平均为4687美元。通过EAS认证的学生可以在更长的时间内保持注册,在注册期间,学校可以从每个学生身上获得大约4,004美元的额外收入。所有学校都与EAS有显著的积极影响,而且无论学生是在什么时候被发现的,EAS都对学校有显著的价值。结果表明,EAS为该机构带来了显著的经济效益,并在入学第一年之后扩展到整个机构。

'Teaching analytics' is the application of learning analytics techniques to understand teaching and learning processes, and eventually enable supportive interventions. However, in the case of (often, half-improvised) teaching in face-to-face classrooms, such interventions would require first an understanding of what the teacher actually did, as the starting point for teacher reflection and inquiry. Currently, such teacher enactment characterization requires costly manual coding by researchers. This paper presents a case study exploring the potential of machine learning techniques to automatically extract teaching actions during classroom enactment, from five data sources collected using wearable sensors (eye-tracking, EEG, accelerometer, audio and video). Our results highlight the feasibility of this approach, with high levels of accuracy in determining the social plane of interaction (90%, κ=0.8). The reliable detection of concrete teaching activity (e.g., explanation vs. questioning) accurately still remains challenging (67%, κ=0.56), a fact that will prompt further research on multimodal features and models for teaching activity extraction, as well as the collection of a larger multimodal dataset to improve the accuracy and generalizability of these methods.
“教学分析”是学习分析技术的应用,用于理解教学和学习过程,并最终实现支持性干预。然而,在面对面课堂(通常是半即兴的)教学的情况下,这种干预首先需要了解教师实际做了什么,作为教师反思和探究的起点。目前,这种教师行为表征需要研究人员进行昂贵的手工编码。本文提出了一个案例研究,探索机器学习技术在课堂制定过程中自动提取教学动作的潜力,从使用可穿戴传感器(眼动追踪、脑电图、加速度计、音频和视频)收集的五个数据源中提取教学动作。我们的结果强调了这种方法的可行性,在确定互动的社会平面方面具有很高的准确性(90%,κ=0.8)。准确可靠地检测具体的教学活动(例如,解释与提问)仍然具有挑战性(67%,κ=0.56),这一事实将促使对教学活动提取的多模态特征和模型的进一步研究,以及收集更大的多模态数据集,以提高这些方法的准确性和泛化性。
